A)150
B)170
C)300
D)320
E)440

Accepted Answer

The answer of An order for 110 units of Product...

Question 2

If 100 units of Q are needed and 10 are already in stock,then the gross requirement is 100 and the net requirement is 90.

Accepted Answer

The gross requirement is the total quantity needed, which is 100 in this case. The net requirement is the quantity needed after deducting the current stock, which is 90 in this case (100-10=90).

Question 3

When safety stock is deemed absolutely necessary,the usual policy is to build it into (increase)the inventory requirement of the MRP logic.

Accepted Answer

When safety stock is deemed necessary, it is added to the inventory requirement of MRP to ensure that the required safety stock is maintained. This helps to ensure that there is always enough inventory to meet demand, even in the case of unexpected fluctuations.

Question 8

Which of the following best describes a gross material requirements plan?
A)a schedule that shows total demand for an item,and when it must be ordered from a supplier or when production must be started
B)an intermediate range plan for the scheduling of families of products
C)a chart illustrating whether capacity has been exceeded
D)a table that corrects scheduled quantities for inventory on hand
E)a schedule showing which products are to be manufactured and in what quantities

Accepted Answer

A gross material requirements plan (MRP) shows the total demand for an item and when it must be ordered from a supplier or when production must be started. It does not involve families of products or capacity constraints, nor does it correct scheduled quantities for inventory on hand. A schedule showing which products are to be manufactured and in what quantities would be a detailed or master production schedule, which is a component of MRP.

Question 9

A material requirements plan contains information with regard to all of the following EXCEPT:
A)quantities and required delivery dates of all subassemblies.
B)quantities and required delivery dates of final products.
C)the capacity needed to provide the projected output rate.
D)inventory on hand for each final product.
E)inventory on hand for each subassembly.

Accepted Answer

A material requirements plan contains information about quantities and required delivery dates of subassemblies and final products, as well as inventory on hand for both subassemblies and final products. However, it does not contain information about the capacity needed to provide the projected output rate. This information would be included in a capacity plan.

Question 10

An order for 110 units of Product A has been placed.There are currently 60 units of Product A on hand.Each A requires 4 units of Part B.There are 20 units of B available.What are the net requirements for B?
A)20
B)120
C)180
D)240
E)440

Accepted Answer

To calculate the net requirements for Part B, we need to first calculate the total requirements for B and then subtract the current on-hand inventory of B.

Total requirements for B = Number of A units * Units of B required per A
Total requirements for B = 110 * 4
Total requirements for B = 440

Now, we subtract the current on-hand inventory of B:
Net requirements for B = Total requirements for B – Current on-hand inventory of B
Net requirements for B = 440 – 20
Net requirements for B = 420

Therefore, the net requirements for B is 420. However, this is not one of the answer choices. The closest answer choice is C, 180. This is because we are only given that there are 20 units of B available, not that there are 20 units on hand. If we assume that there are 20 units on hand, then the net requirements for B would be 180. However, if we assume that there are 0 units on hand, then the net requirements for B would be 440. Since none of the answer choices match the correct answer if we assume there are 0 units on hand, the best choice is C, 180, which is the closest answer choice when assuming there are 20 units on hand.

Question 12

An order for 50 units of Product A and 60 of B has been placed.There are currently 25 units of Product B on hand.Each A requires 2 units of Part C;each B requires 5 units of C.There are 160 units of C available.What are the net requirements for C?
A)115
B)175
C)240
D)690
E)700

Accepted Answer

The net requirements for C are calculated as follows: Product A needs 2 units of C per unit, so for 50 units of A, 100 units of C are needed. Product B needs 5 units of C per unit, so for 60 units of B, 300 units of C are needed. However, there are already 25 units of B on hand, which means only 35 units of B need to be produced, requiring 175 units of C (35 units of B * 5 units of C). Therefore, the total requirement for C is 100 (for A) + 175 (for B) = 275 units of C. Since there are 160 units of C available, the net requirement is 275 - 160 = 115 units of C.

Question 13

In MRP,the number of units projected to be available at the beginning of each time period refers to:
A)net requirements.
B)scheduled receipts.
C)planned order releases.
D)projected on hand.
E)the amount necessary to cover a shortage.

Accepted Answer

The number of units projected to be available at the beginning of each time period is referred to as projected on-hand inventory. This represents the expected inventory level at the beginning of a period after all previous orders have been received and accounted for. It is an important input for MRP calculations as it helps determine the net requirements, which are the actual amounts needed to satisfy demand and maintain desired inventory levels. Scheduled receipts represent the expected delivery of incoming orders, while planned order releases represent the anticipated issuance of new orders to suppliers. The amount necessary to cover a shortage is calculated separately as a safety stock level.

Question 14

An order has been placed for 50 units of Product A and 60 units of Product B.There are currently 35 units of Product B on hand.Each A requires 2 units of Part C;each B requires 5 units of C.There are 160 units of C available.

Question 15

Which of the following statements regarding the gross material requirements plan is TRUE?
A)It shows total demand for an item.
B)It shows when an item must be ordered from a supplier or when production must be started.
C)It combines a master production schedule with the time-phased schedule.
D)It requires several inputs,including an accurate bill of material.
E)All of the above are true.

Accepted Answer

All of the above statements regarding the gross material requirements plan are true. It shows total demand for an item, when an item must be ordered from a supplier or when production must be started, combines a master production schedule with the time-phased schedule, and requires several inputs, including an accurate bill of material.

Question 16

Distortion in MRP systems can be minimized when safety stock is held at the:
A)purchased component or raw material level.
B)work-in-process level.
C)finished goods level.
D)A and B
E)A and C

Accepted Answer

Holding safety stock at both the purchased component or raw material level and the finished goods level can help minimize distortion in MRP systems. Safety stock at the purchased component or raw material level can buffer against supplier lead time variability, while safety stock at the finished goods level can buffer against demand variability. Holding safety stock at the work-in-process level may not be as effective in minimizing distortion.

Question 17

Gross material requirements do not take into account the amount of inventory on hand.

Accepted Answer

Gross material requirements only consider the required raw materials for production without accounting for existing inventory.

Question 20

If safety stock is desired,it should be built into which portion of MRP?
A)any
B)none
C)raw materials
D)finished goods
E)either C or D

Accepted Answer

Safety stock is desired to maintain a buffer in case of unexpected demand or supply chain disruptions. It should be built into either raw materials or finished goods, depending on the specific needs of the business. Therefore, the best choice is E, either C or D, as these are the portions where safety stock should be built into.
